Joan Frazier

Joan Frazier, LMFT, understands the complex human needs for both belonging and autonomy, attachment and freedom, which often feel at odds in adult life. As a skilled counselor, she listens attentively and offers understanding and guidance, instilling hope in her clients. Many individuals carry the weight of challenges in their lives and yearn for a safe space to share their truths with someone who offers non-judgmental support. This dialogue is what Joan considers 'counseling' at its best. With a foundation in Marriage & Family Therapy, her practice focuses on fostering effective and functional relationships versus dysfunctional ones. Joan views therapy as an educational journey tailored to each individual seeking awareness and insight to enhance communication, intimacy, and fulfillment in all relationships. Recognizing that many feel anxious or resistant to seek help, she emphasizes that therapy is ultimately a pathway to learning about vital life areas not commonly taught, such as love, conflict resolution, sexuality, parenting skills, navigating grief, mid-life transitions, and understanding emotional maturity. In essence, she champions the concept of Adult Education through therapeutic practices.
